Back to reality

Apparently the last post was almost a month ago! 2 July 2008...

Ah well. 4 weeks in Singapore and Malaysia have finally come to an end and I'm now back at work :( boohoo...
Trying to get motivated and work work work but to be honest this period isn't my busiest cos my client portfolio is smaller than my December busy season. So...I don't think I'm going to be overworked like the rest of my poor colleagues.

There's so much that happened over the last month overseas and I was pleasantly surprised that I was actually kept occupied for the duration of my stay (much to the amazement of many people). I think what I miss most is the people that I've kept in touch with over the years...while I've been away for 8 long years, there are still friendships which continue on strong.

Thanks to those who took the time from their busy schedules to meet up...miss you all already!

Getting back in the swing of things.

I've been back in Singapore for 3 days and I think it's been going better than expected. The heat and humidity haven't been too bad (although I think it's cos I stay indoors in the day and come out into the open at night). 

Apparently I have a hybrid accent which doesn't sound fully Singaporean or fully Australian, like some displaced person with no definite identity. Hmm. 

I've definitely come back at the right time - traveling on an Australian passport entitles me to Tourist shopping privileges....not huge discounts but definitely better than nothing. Haha, and also doesn't make me sound so directionally-challenged when I have to ask the information services staff how to get to the MRT station. 

The city keeps changing, buildings keep popping up everywhere. I feel quite lost within the city.

A few more weeks to go!
